To the Forum,
I'm starting my own engineering firm in New Jersey and I'm presently only licensed in New Jersey.
I have a client that would give the firm a good jumpstart with work in Florida.
The problem I have is the board doesn't meet until February so getting a Florida license in time is not an option.
I spoke to a lawyer the other day to find out if there was a way to get around the engineer in charge requirements. He stated if I contract with a Florida licensed engineer as a qualifier I would be able to have the drawings signed by that Florida licensed engineer and perform the work through the firm in New Jersey.
I ran this by the board in an email and they stated this is not acceptable. I have a voice mail into them but have not received a response yet.
Does anyone know how to perform engineering design services in Florida, or any other state which you are not licensed and void the engineer in charge requirements?
Thanks in advance.
Brian
